It's not a bad performance of the piece, but it's far more up-tempo than the composer intended.

Exactly! I mean, come on... completing 4'33" in 3'43" is just preposterous.

Beat me to it. It's a fun thought experiment determining what really defines music and I always love to hear people's answers. Are recordings of nature considered to be music? The idle ambience of everyday life? If yes, then why not 4'33"? If no, why not?
